Del Piero to have Juventus farewell tour in Australia

The 37-year old striker is unlikely to play for the Turin club next season meaning a mooted trip down under in May will be his last appearance for the Serie A league leaders.

The Bianconeri will play one game in Australia - either in Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne - on May 27 and that could very well be Del Piero's swansong according to a club source.

"Juventus could be coming out to Australia straight after the Coppa Italia final on May 20, and they will be coming out with Alex Del Piero for a farewell tour," a source close to Juve told the Sydney Morning Herald.
